'Lead researcher Jerome Sarris, a PhD candidate from UQ’s School of
Medicine, said the placebo-controlled study found Kava to be an
effective and safe treatment option for people with chronic anxiety and
varying levels of depression.

“We’ve been able to show that Kava offers a natural alternative for
the treatment of anxiety, and unlike some pharmaceutical options, has
less risk of dependency and less potential of side effects,” Mr. Sarris
said.

Each week participants were given a clinical assessment as well as a
self-rating questionnaire to measure their anxiety and depression
levels. The researchers found anxiety levels decreased dramatically for
participants taking five tablets of Kava per day as opposed to the
placebo group which took dummy pills.'

'General Mills Inc. showed where U.S. food prices are headed by making some of its breakfast cereals and baking products more expensive, according to Christopher Growe, a Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst.
As the CHART OF THE DAY shows, retail prices for food are lower than they were in May though the cost of farm commodities has soared.

The food component of the U.S. consumer price index and a gauge of agricultural-product prices, compiled by UBS AG and Bloomberg, were used to make the comparison.
General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, Chex and Wheaties, will raise cereal prices on Nov. 15. The increase will affect about 25 percent of its cereal production and amount to a “low single-digit” percentage, Kirstie Foster, a company spokeswoman, wrote today in an e-mail.

Prices for some baking mixes are set for “a mid single- digit increase,” effective Jan. 3, Foster wrote. The company’s product lines include Betty Crocker, Bisquick and Pillsbury.
“While General Mills may be the first of the large food companies to really press higher on pricing, we believe many others may follow,” Growe wrote. “It’s just a matter of time, given what is coming down the pike in the way of inflation.”

The UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index for
farm products jumped 50 percent between June 7, when it fell to
this year’s low, and yesterday, when it set a record by closing
at 1,770.479. The previous high was set in July 2008.'

'You've no doubt noticed that for about the last 60 years the majority
of health care officials and the media have been telling you saturated
fats are bad for your health and lead to a host of negative
consequences, like elevated cholesterol, obesity, heart disease and
Alzheimer's disease.

Meanwhile during this same 60 years the American levels of heart
disease, obesity, elevated serum cholesterol and Alzheimer's have
skyrocketed compared to our ancestors, and even compared to modern-day
primitive societies using saturated fat as a dietary staple.

Did you know that multiple studies on Pacific Island populations who

'The food leaders came to realize that there are three
basic building blocks from which all food products stem from: corn,
wheat, and soy. Those who gain control of these natural resources will
sit atop the food industry pyramid. The poster child for the food
cartel, GMO-chemical giant Monsanto, has control of
90% of the U.S. soybean crop and 80% of the corn crop, while most of
the cotton crop is also grown with seeds containing Monsanto's
technology. They have three times the sales of seeds as their nearest
competitor, Dupont. It also has been reported that they have
systematically bought up the majority of heirloom seed companies, and
are rumored to be systematically eliminating heirlooms in favor of their
patented GMOs or hybrids. Furthermore, nearly all other industrial
crops depend on agri-chemicals sold by Monsanto or Dupont, as well as
some dairy farms.

There are also major livestock and poultry monopolies that depend on the
corn and soy for feed. Cargill, the largest privately-owned company in
America, is also a major player in the cartel. The company that represents the gatekeeper for food processing companies is Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)
where cereal grains and oilseeds are processed into products used in
food, beverage, nutraceutical, industrial and animal feed markets
worldwide. This cartel now fully controls the FDA and USDA and operates
a global food empire.'

'Big Pharma, fresh with a new trick up their sleeve, has added the swine flu and multiple other vaccines to the seasonal flu vaccine. Vaccine Propaganda is in full throttle. Grocery stores, commercials, government agents, and the corporate news have all pushed this eugenics operation on the American people.
Most people seem to think that if the vaccine is so toxic then more doctors would be speaking out against it. They are!

Hundreds if not thousands of doctors have exposed the vaccine fraud and been literally blackballed by Big Pharma agents within the medical community.
Luckily, a patriot nurse has taken video of the actual package insert. What she found is horrific but should be no surprise to anyone reading this or the plethora of other alternative news outlets. No clinical tests, decreased fertility, and over 20 deaths.'

This thick and fragrant pumpkin seed pesto, featuring roasted pumpkin seeds, olive oil, cilantro and garlic, is a versatile sauce for your repertoire. Try this pesto as a spread on sandwiches, tossed with hot pasta or served over roasted or steamed vegetables.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss pumpkin seeds with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt then spread out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast until seeds are puffed and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes, then set aside to let cool.
Combine seeds in a food processor with water, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro and remaining 4 tablespoons oil. Pulse until mixture forms a coarse paste then season with salt and pepper.

'This concluding chapter for the second edition of my Transdermal Magnesium Therapy book provides a glaring example of magnesium ignorance and the price people pay for this ignorance. Four years ago when I published the first edition of this book I was told by an FDA whistleblower that a copy of my book was sitting on someone’s desk at the FDA. Their decision to approve the use of Botox for migraines last week shows that they did not take the magnesium research and science presented seriously. The only conclusion I can come to about this is that they are paid-off medical officials who do not want to upset their medical masters at the big pharmaceutical companies whose business models do not include the use of medical substances that are natural and non-patentable.'

'Have the elderly people in your family missed
their flu shot? If so, they may have made the right decision. The New York
Times recently reported that "A growing number of immunologists and
epidemiologists say the vaccine probably does not work very well for people
over 70," and that previous studies may have shown "not any actual
protection against the flu virus but a fundamental difference between the
kinds of people who get vaccines and those who do not -- simply because
they went to the doctor more often." Influenza vaccination has been widely touted even though evidence of
effectiveness is lacking.

One large scientific review looked at 40 years'
worth of influenza vaccine studies. It found that flu shots were ineffective
for elderly persons living in the community, and flu shots were "non-significant
against influenza" for elderly living in group homes. The authors of
another major review "found no correlation between vaccine coverage and
influenza-like-illness attack rate."Author Dr. Thomas Jefferson
said,"The vaccine doesn't work very well at all. Vaccines are being
used as an ideological weapon. What you see every year as the flu is caused
by 200 or 300 different agents with a vaccine against two of them. That is
simply nonsense."Indeed, he commented, "What you see is that
marketing rules the response to influenza, and scientific evidence comes
fourth or fifth."'

Even aspirin is now being questioned as a possible cause of deaths, as well as the bizarre effects of the 1918 flu. The list of withdrawn drugs is long but it does not include drugs still on the market which are known to harm or kill (of the drugs listed above, only Vioxx has been removed). Prescription aspirin, ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-imflammatories routinely kill more than 16,000 people a year.'

'Much of medicine is based on what is considered the strongest
possible evidence: The placebo-controlled trial. A paper published in
the October 19 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine --
entitled "What's In Placebos: Who Knows?" calls into question this
foundation upon which much of medicine rests, by showing that there is
no standard behind the standard -- no standard for the placebo.

The thinking behind relying on
placebo-controlled trials is this: to be sure a treatment itself is
effective, one needs to compare people whose only difference is
whether or not they are taking the drug. Both groups should equally
think they are on the drug -- to protect against effects of factors
like expectation. So study participants are allocated "randomly" to
the drug or a "placebo" -- a pill that might be mistaken for the
active drug but is inert.'

'While the new study is breaking, the history of aspartame being a carcinogen has always been known. Aspartame was known to cause cancer from the beginning. On August 1, 1985 FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told Congress that at least one of Searle's studies "has established beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of extremely high significance. ... In view of these indications that the cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"

'The biggest killers, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and many
other diseases are largely man-made and iatrogenic in origin, yet we
ignorantly dismiss their growing incidence to factors which we assume
are not preventable.'

Vaccines - A Major Cause of Disease

'Type I insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus is a disease that has now been linked to vaccines, as
is Parkinson Disease, Tourette's syndrome,
Multiple Sclerosis, and several other
neuropsychiatric disorders.'

'All vaccines are causing
immediate and delayed, acute and chronic,
increasing and decreasing, impairments to
blood flow, throughout the brain and body. This
IS causing us all to become chronically ill, sick,
and brain damaged along a continuum of other symptoms,
some of which are clinically silent until
death. Vaccines are causing ischemic
"strokes". Since the damages are
microscopic, we cannot see them as they
occur. However, we can now see the neurological aftermath
of these damages - within hours and days of vaccination - all vaccinations. (Read Vaccines Are One Big Experiment Causing Hundreds of Diseases In The Modern World)'

'There is a direct and
statistical correlation between the
diseases that affect a given population (in developed
nations) and the frequency of vaccines administered.
That being said, there is an excellent
probability that hundreds of diseases in
the modern world are simply a by-product
of the harmful effects of vaccines.'

'When a large segment of the population is facing a drastic cut in
income in the face of escalating food prices, we have a catastrophic
problem in the making. Today we have the simultaneous events of income deflation and food inflation,
two high-speed express trains coming down the tracks at each other,
plus a financial crisis colliding with staggering crop losses that are
cutting deeply into available planetary food reserves. Prices of food
are beginning to soar again just as millions are losing the ability to
afford a reasonable diet, though little of this is being observed or
reported. But soon even the blind will see.'

An FDA spokesman told the [1]Washington Post that on one hand, theF.D.A. maintains that chelation methods are unproven, and ineffective;just as they do with all natural supplements. Yet at the same time,their excuse for sending out the letters is the fact that chelationtherapy is too powerful. It was ripe with the usual doublespeak that isused to avoid discussing the real problems that they have withalternative therapies.

"'The companies that received the warning letters sell products without a prescription, often as "dietary supplements", and describe
multiple health benefits, none of which have been proven.'

"The agency became alarmed about the growing promotion and easy availability of the products because the substances may cause serious health complications, including dehydration and kidney failure, and possibly be deadly, officials said."

-- FDA via the [2]Washington Post

Most chelation products do not require prescriptions, specificallybecause the FDA itself judged them to be safe for mass consumption. Sothe whole thing about them being sold without prescriptions is justmore slight-of-hand trickery. You did catch it, right? How about thatdehydration thing, which supposedly might lead to kidney failure? Theyneglected to name a single case of it happening for some funny reason.Is this really the best that they can do? Talk about
grasping forstraws

For what it is worth, their own literature (found inside medicalschools and doctors' offices nationwide) present chelation therapy asthe standard procedure for metal toxicity. In fact, you may wish to askyour doctor if chelation therapy is right for you! Oops.

Thus, the FDA's problem is not based upon science, which is alreadyclearly backing our side, even inside their own literature for decades.Their real problem goes far beyond their typical anticompetitivepractices this time. The problem for them is that every autistic childwho is cured with our methods becomes a huge political and businessembarrassment for them, and their corporate partners. Each one of thosechildren furthermore is positive and indisputable proof that themetallic toxins inside of vaccines were responsible for it, or moreaptly, that they were responsible for the ruined lives. These issueshave now
instituted a large scale cover up, and the lives of otherpeople's children are being sacrificed upon their corporate altar.

Chelation therapy has been proven in countless studies, with productssuch as EDTA, which the F.D.A. is suddenly attacking companies forselling. What makes this richly ironic is that EDTA is the mostcommonly used and recommended chelation agent in their own orthodoxmedical establishment. You will find plenty of it at your localhospital and pharmacy, in fact. Does this make all the doctors in theU.S. quacks too? It would indeed, if the F.D.A. were telling us thetruth, but perhaps it got so zealous in stopping autistic cures thatits agents forgot to consult which treatments that they had themselvesapproved and recommended. You may have noticed that EDTA is in a largeportion of processed foods too, because the FDA had claimed evidencethat EDTA is "Generally Recognized as Safe" for
all people, under allconditions. If you had been waiting to catch the FDA with its pantsaround its ankles, then your waiting is finally over.

The Food and Drug Administration is using a unique definition of'proven'. Before sending warning letters to companies about theirsuddenly "unproven" claims, officials did not first research thesupplements to investigate any merit to the claims. Instead, theyannounced by fiat that benefits could not have been proven, becausethese products are suddenly not F.D.A. approved. History just gets inthe way, after all. It is like the circular logic of 'why' and 'becauseI said so'.

It is under this sorry excuse of corrupted "science" that pomegranatejuice has recently been under fire from the FDA's cousin, the FTC,because no product can claim benefits if it is not a drug. [3]Officialshave admitted in the past that even claiming water "cures" (the
c-word)dehydration will bring out their boys in riot gear with weapons drawnto confiscate the liquid "contraband" known as water. Can anyone outthere still doubt that their agenda is to keep us sick, addicted todrugs, and totally dependent on their chemical industry partners? Idigress.

Cilantro alone (chinese parsley) has been used successfully in at least[4]one study to thoroughly remove mercury and lead. The study was doneby the Heart Disease Research Foundation, but the only journal willingto publish it was one specializing in acupuncture, due to thepolitically incorrect conclusions that it reached. Nobody at JAMA iswilling to sacrifice his career.

Chelation supplements are critically important, because they really canreverse, or halt the progression of certain major diseases, which aredue to metallic toxicity. These include Alzheimer's Disease, autism,Parkinson's Disease, and other
less-common neurological disorders.

"We don't have evidence of a lot of adverse events, but [that] does not mean there are not health problems associated with them"

Tylenol becomes a potent and potentially fatal poison whenever it ismixed with any alcohol, and this is well proven. This is the mainreason why there are so many "binge drinking deaths" every year oncollege campuses. It was not usually the alcohol that finished them.How long will it be before the F.D.A. goes after Tylenol?

"Relatively small overdoses of acetaminophen - Tylenol's active ingredient - have been blamed for liver damage and even deaths in children in
the United States."

-- New York Times, October 19, 1997

The F.D.A. is not getting floods of chelation-related deaths, as theWashington Post article cunningly implied, but instead, the FDA istrying to protect its prized vaccine industry. The diseases caused byheavy metal toxicity bring in billions to the medical industry, andapprovals for new drugs to treat these new diseases happen to be themain source of F.D.A. income.

We often parrot that the F.D.A. is not acting in our best interests,and their actions should speak clearly for themselves. During the lastweek, along with sending threat letters to companies of "dangerous"chelation products, the FDA simultaneously [5]approved the use of botox(botulism toxin) injections for migraine headaches.

Author W. David McCoy puts a personal perspective on how medication deteriorates health.

'Recently my mother, 94, lay slowly
dying. She was skeletal, feeble, disoriented, delusional and
agitated, and she slept fitfully. She took water by medicine dropper
and refused all food. Helpful, caring hospice and health care workers
attended her in my brother's house around the clock.

Three days later, although
still occasionally confused, she sat at the kitchen table requesting
pancakes for breakfast and making sharp-witted remarks. Two weeks
later, her mental condition and energy level were essentially normal
for the first time in years. A month later, her weight was normal.

How did this miracle occur?
That isn't the first question to ask. Instead, it is ''How did a
bright, happy, energetic, elderly woman get in such bad shape?'' The
answer is drugs.'

'Health chiefs have for the first time acknowledged that the swine flu jab may be linked to an increased risk of developing a deadly nerve condition.
Experts are examining a pos­sible association between the controversial jab and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, according to a report from official watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Previously, the Government has always stressed there is no evidence to link the paralysing condition to the H1N1 vaccine.'

'In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is represented by the metal
element, which corresponds to the Lungs and Large Intestine. Weakness in
this element shows up as ailments in the Lung and Intestines:
allergies, asthma and constipation. The remedy can be found in this
season's most notable food: the pumpkin or squash.

The pumpkin is round, orange and sweet. It corresponds to the earth
element in the five element cycle. Earth is the mother of metal. In
Chinese medicine there is a saying: when there is weakness in the child
(in this case metal: lungs and large intestine), nourish the mother (in this case earth.)'

“I told you not to take the H1N1 vaccine last year! Vaccines are used as
a method of depopulation and many vaccines cause sterility. The
Illuminati ruling elite has an ongoing depopulation plan. Fact or
fiction? You decide. I strongly recommend you avoid all flu vaccines.
Try Vitamin D and lots of sunshine instead !"

'Morningland Dairy is the latest attempt by the FDA to fulfill the
Healthy People 2020 objective to kill raw dairy. Morningland is owned by
Joseph and Denise Dixon, who operate the cheese plant and make raw
cheese from cows kept right on the property and managed by one of their
eldest daughters. They have 12 children, 4 who still live at home, and
they have been actively engaged in real food for decades. They were
caught up in the Rawesome Raid dragnet and many believe the questionable
California Dept of Food and Agriculture tests on their cheese are the
legal justification for the multi-agency guns drawn raid at Rawesome.'

'The
federal government has made good on a two-year-old promise to add
bisphenol A, a hormone-disrupting chemical linked to some cancers, to
the country's list of toxic substances, in spite of industry
opposition.

In
2008, Canada became the first country in the world to ban the
chemical, an estrogen-mimicking substance also known as BPA, in baby
bottles after concluding that the industrial chemical could eventually
lead to prostate and breast cancer.

The next step for the government was to designate the chemical as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.'

'A report by Jeremy Scahill in The Nation (Blackwater's Black Ops,
9/15/2010) revealed that the largest mercenary army in the world,
Blackwater (now called Xe Services) clandestine intelligence services
was sold to the multinational Monsanto. Blackwater was renamed in 2009
after becoming famous in the world with numerous reports of abuses in
Iraq, including massacres of civilians. It remains the largest private
contractor of the U.S. Department of State "security services," that
practices state terrorism by giving the government the opportunity to
deny it.'

'Almost simultaneously with the publication of this article in The
Nation, the Via Campesina reported the purchase of 500,000 shares of
Monsanto, for more than $23 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, which with this action completed the outing of the mask of
"philanthropy." Another association that is not surprising.'

Hemp's Suppressed Medicinal History

Li Shi Chen (1573-1620) compiled the most extensive Chinese Materia Medica, called Pen T'sao Kang Mu which states about hemp: "The Ancients used this medicine to remain fertile, strong and vigorous . . ." and hemp seed will "aid in the growth of the body’s muscle fiber…"

Quoting books even older, the Pen T’sao proclaims that whole hemp seed is useful "to mend and help all of the central areas and benefit the chi [life force]."

In Chinese medicine, hemp seeds fall under the categories of sweet, neutral, and clearing heat, operating through the channels of the stomach, large intestine, and the spleen and remain widely used today as one of the 50 "fundamental" herbs in traditional Chinese medicine.

The medicinal potential of marijuana is well documented in North America also--in 1860, for example, the convection of the Committee on Cannabis Indica of the Ohio State Medical Society reported on cannabis' therapeutic applications in treating a vast number of ailments, including: mania, whooping cough, asthma, chronic bronchitis, tetanus, epilepsy and withdrawal from alcohol.

Between the years of 1840 and 1860, more than 100 articles were published in the medical community recommending it for various disorders.

Although the extent of the medicinal value of cannabis is debated by some, well-documented beneficial effects have been published over thousands of years. Among these are: the amelioration of nausea and vomiting, stimulation of hunger, (in particular in chemotherapy/ AIDS patients), lowered intraocular eye pressure (shown to be effective for treating glaucoma), as well as general analgesic effects (pain reliever), and the list goes on.

Highly obscured, (until the interent), yet even more remarkable, is mounting evidence showing that cannabis may CURE a variety of conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and depression.

On October 7, 2003 a patent entitled "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants" (Patent No. #6,630,507) was awarded to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, based on research done at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

This patent claims that cannabinoids are "useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases." It states that this 'new found' property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of ailments.

"The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia." Synthetic cannabinoids are marketed as Marinol in the United States and Germany, and Cesamet in Canada.

On 19 October 2009 the US Deputy Attorney General issued a US Department of Justice memorandum to "All United States Attorneys" providing clear clarification and guidance to federal prosecutors in US States that have enacted laws authorizing the medical use of marijuana and recommending against prosecuting patients using medical cannabis products according to state laws.

Cancer is Big Business

"All appointments to the FDA are carefully screened to be certain that the appointee will be controlled by the drug companies. An FDA memo admitted that they would never permit an independent researcher to come up with a cure for cancer that it would have to come through a drug company. Many cancer cures have come and gone since 1906. None has received any publicity in the national media. Curing cancer is far removed from the plans of the drug companies as the sale of chemotherapy drugs is so lucrative."
